What’s of interest? Escolha Livre (Free Choice)
Tell me more!
This guide aims to point out a range of free and open software and services, and open resources that can help school actors, particularly teachers and students, and is available in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
We don’t aim to be a huge catalog of free software or to list all the open content repositories. Escolha Livre is the result of a collective curation to select and suggest software and content that is easy to install and use, that dialogues with teaching practices and that in many cases can replace closed and proprietary software and repositories currently in use.
We also want to help teachers and students think about a more Open Education which, among other principles, has the ethical, pedagogical and technical imperative of supporting free software. The Pocket Guide to Open Education (in Portuguese) is a quick and easy read on the subject.
Escolha Livre, in its 2024 version, is a realization of the UNESCO Chair in Distance Education in collaboration with the Open Education Initiative, with financial support from the project “Boas práticas em redes na implantação e implementação dos sistemas de informação para a infância e a adolescência” (PNUD/UnB/FUNAPE).
